Anti-Malarials
Malaria is a tropical disease which can be transmitted by mosquitoes that live in Malaria zones. It’s a very serious disease, causing symptoms like a high fever, headaches, vomiting and diarrhoea, and it can be fatal if you experience complications.
As well as using insect spray and bug nets, you should take medication to prevent malaria if you’re going to be travelling to an area where the disease is a risk. You’ll usually need to prepare for malaria before travelling to tropical regions in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, as well as some parts of the middle east and some Pacific islands.
